Laco Aachen Blaue Stunde 42 mm Automatic Pilot Watch
Ref. 862101.2.MB
The Laco Aachen Blaue Stunde 42 mm reinterprets the classic German flieger watch with a deep blue dial inspired by the light of the evening “blue hour.” The sunray finish adds a more contemporary dimension to the historic pilot-watch design while preserving the clarity and purpose that define the Aachen collection.
Built around the traditional Type-B navigator layout and powered by a reliable automatic movement, this model combines authentic aviation heritage with a more distinctive and refined visual character. For those drawn to classic pilot watches but looking for something less expected than the standard black dial, the Blaue Stunde stands apart beautifully.
Curator Note
The Blaue Stunde edition is one of the most visually distinctive versions of the Aachen line. It keeps the essential Laco pilot-watch identity intact, but the blue sunray dial gives it a more layered, modern presence on the wrist.
Why Collectors Choose the Aachen Blaue Stunde
Distinctive blue sunray dial: The “Blaue Stunde” dial shifts beautifully with the light, bringing depth and character to the traditional flieger design.
